It's not a slower pace. It's like working med-surg, except you have 20 or 30 patients instead of five or six. The regulations and the paperwork can kill ya, too.

I thoroughly enjoy working in a nursing home. You will have more people to take care of, but they will be the same ones every day and you will get to know them and their family members very well, which is a blessing. I've met some wonderful, wonderful people. You'll celebrate their birthdays, give them a good Christmas, and hold their hands when they die. Above all, you will leave every single day knowing that you have made a difference. I wouldn't trade my job for any in the world.

I've heard a lot of good things about Apple Health Care, very employee oriented and resident oriented. I like their "Better Life Philosophy"
